HC Deb 28 November 1972 vol 847 c61W
18. Mr. Madel

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will seek powers to exempt from taxation the 100 per cent. Vietnam war bonus paid to British seamen, under a 1965 National Maritime Board agreement, when sailing in or near Vietnamese waters.

Mr. Nott

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I could not justify a special concession for this form of earnings.
